What actually happens

A themed sample pack arrives in the post. On the day, we all get on Zoom, sniff the same things at the same time, and talk about what we're getting. That's the whole event, and it is so much better than it sounds on paper.

You do not need to know what an aldehyde is. You do not need to own anything expensive. Some of the best calls I've had on this have come from someone saying a fragrance smells like their nan's linen cupboard and being completely, precisely right.

Every experience level is welcome! Nobody gets made to feel stupid for not knowing a note or a house.

What's in it

i

A themed sample pack

Curated for that month's theme and posted to you ahead of the session, so everyone is smelling the same thing at the same moment.

ii

90 minutes, live on Zoom

Run in AEST. Cameras on if you like, off if you'd rather. Talking is encouraged but never compulsory.

iii

The recording

Sent out afterwards, so a clashing Sunday afternoon doesn't cost you the session.

iv

A room of people who think about perfume too much

Which is the actual product, if I'm being honest with you. The samples are the excuse.

v

Discount codes from three of the houses in your pack

Three of the brands we'll be sniffing have generously given attendees a code to use afterwards. Which three, I'm not telling you — the pack stays secret until the day! The codes go out with the recording, so if you find something you love, you're not paying full price.

The practical bits

Where it runs

Comparing Notes is an Australian event, held over Zoom and scheduled in AEST. Sample packs post within Australia as standard.

If you're overseas

You're welcome to grab a ticket from wherever you are. International postage costs more than the ticket price covers, so I'll be in touch about the difference before your pack goes out. Buy as early as you can — overseas post is slow and sales close October 22nd for everyone.

Cost and timing

$85, covering the sample pack and postage within Australia. Ticket sales close October 22nd, and if you're overseas you'll want to buy well before then.

Old Gods: Myths & Folklore

A themed sample pack in the post, 90 minutes together on Zoom, the recording afterwards, and a room of people who think about perfume far too much. Three of the houses in the pack have given attendees a discount code as well. Twenty-eight tickets, and August went in three days.

$85Covers the sample pack and postage within Australia.

Checkout opens in a secure Zylvie window. Ticket sales close October 22nd so every pack has time to arrive.

Can't make this one?

Twenty-eight tickets, and August sold out in three days, so this one may well be gone by the time you get here. If it is, or if November 8th doesn't work for you, pop your info in below. You'll hear about the next session before I announce it anywhere else.

Your details are used to tell you about Comparing Notes sessions and to work out postage. Nothing else, and never passed on.
